Bridge building
A main concern in the final stages of the Riverview project was the effect the new residence hall would have on community relations. The Residential Life staff for Riverview Apartments, including the Community Advisers, Graduate Head Resident and Area Coordinator have done an exemplary job in creating relationships between UR and the 19th Ward and […]
Do they have cable in Maine?
For those of you who don't know, I'm from Maine. I've worked in a small shop in a harbor town for about three summers now. It only took me a month to find out how little people actually know about my beloved state. I've been asked many-a-time if moose are real animals, if all Mainers […]
Fight your fear, take the bus
As I entered my freshman year, I was nervous about coming to UR without a car, the ultimate freedom that I had become accustomed to during high school. I had heard on my tours of the River Campus that there were free Rochester city buses to bring me all around, but I was unconvinced.Enter RED […]
Blogging the SA
Despite the fact that UR is a close-knit community, there is still a gap in the interaction between those creating school policies and those affected by them.

Campus Times exclusive with Palin uncovers all
In an astonishing move, Senator John McCain chose Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to be his running mate. Luckily for the CT and UR as a whole, I was on hand at the Republican National Convention. Unlike its Democratic counterpart, the media room was fairly deserted throughout this four-day celebration of old white men, so our […]
View from a Starr
As CNN.com reported on Sunday, 'Billionaire Warren Buffett told congressional negotiators that if they can't agree on a proposed financial bailout, the nation will face "its biggest financial meltdown in American history.'" But, as long as the rest of the country seems to be ignoring that, I guess I'll just write about baseball.Welcome to October, […]
From the Pressbox
When I think back to my first year on the running scene, I remember the conversations I had about my running with nonrunners. More often than not, these conversations would end up with me explaining that 'No, I cannot run 100 meters in nine seconds" and 'No, I cannot run a sub-four-minute mile." These are […]
Get to Know Me: Jared Suresky
